mile minute, drawing hundreds of tons of
freight. Then say that engine was made for
the way, and that way was made Tor the en-
gine. The most omnipotent thing | ever
looked at was an engine rolling magnifcently
along the railroad track. Ch, what speed!
What power! But believe tue most helpless
thing / ever looked ut was an en-
gine off the track. When L take the way
to Jesus and heaven there | do not know
what way this is; / cannot understand 1t, will
try and lead an OK on the way, and it doesn't t
lit him. Then try horse, and it doesn't fit
horse. / take the distance OF my soul;
look at its infinite capacities, lonGings, de-
sires, and | say: ~ believe my soul was
made for that way and that way was made
for my SOUL" And when my soul is lifted up
on that way run and don't grow weary;
walk and / faint not. Thank GOD, that from
the slough of despond in this world there Is
a highway that leads to heaven, in which we
may roll in peace and Safety all our days.
On the track that engine Is at home; Off the
track it is helpless. Let US try to run that
| engine on the dirt road and it does not run
more than ten feet before 1t sinks down.
Try the soul on the guilt road of
lcentiousness, on the highway of avarice, on
the dirt road of infidelity, and 1t sinks in the
mire, and is swallowed up in everlasting
darkness. l say there Is but one road on
which that soul can run, and that is the way
to Christ.
But listen! He speaks again! 81 am the
| way" he said; then he said: ~ am the
truth" Oh, Jesus taught truths that Soc
rates never dreamed of, and Plato never
| thought about! Christ Jesus, my Lord,
| taught truths that made me wise unto saliva
| tion. Oh, blessed Christ, thy words are all
the world to me. Thank God for that light
| and that truth that makes me wise unto sal
walton! And Jesus Christ is the living en-
bodiment of truth and he will teach
the way to all who will seek him
in earnest. He speaks again! He
says, II am the life!'' And amid the
| perishipg millions of earth, the pale faces
and hectic coughs, and shrouds, and grave
| yards and death of this world, Jesus stands
| up and tells this world, II am the Life, and

perishing millions, dying in hunger and want

and if you do you will hunger

spoke again. He said: II am the door. -
The door means house, and peace, and
plenty, and welcome. All, brother, here we
have in Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, the
life, the bread the water, the home and COM
fort, and all the blessings that man needs in
time and eternity. / find all together with

Than leave my SAVIOR
Jesus Christ lives very near to those who
cannot get along without Him. Make room
| in your heart for Christ, and when He comes
He is the bread the water, the lite, the way
and the truth for you. Make room in your
house, in your Office, in your factory for
Christ, and He will be your closest friend in
that place. Make room
IN YOUR SHOE-SHOP,
make room on your locomotive engine, and
he will ride with you and comfort you. and
feed your soul upon the bread of life. Make
room for Christ in your city and in your
state and pray to blessed Christ to abide the
guest of Minnesota, and abide the guest of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and abide the guest
of every home and heart in the city, and
will show you city that will be an honor to
earth and shall be the blessing to heaven.
Lord, Jesus, what revelation Thou dost
make of Thyself-Thy wondrous Self! Thus
what wonderful renovation when Thou dost
abide with US! The way, Thou blessed Lord,
Thou hast told us better than all earth can
tell us. Then the next question we take up,
where is Christ?' Brother this question is
about as important as the other. ''Where is
Christ?' We preach Aaot an historical
Christ a savior who died ana who
was raised from the dead 1880 years
ago. We preach not Christ that sitteth on
the right hand of the Father, but we preach
very in-dwelling and abiding Christ, who
promised to be with us always, even unto
the end of the world. The Methodist, the
Baptist the Presbyterian, the Episcopalian,
who have not Christ abiding in their hearts,
are simply Unltarians in the wrong church.
that is all. Laughter. The Christless Meth
odist, the Christless Episcopalan. the Christ
less Presbyterian, the Christless IBaptist is
nothing more or less than a Unitarian in the
wrong church. Now, l am the last man in
this world to strike another denominations,
but l am the last man that lives on this earth
tina twill admit that a Unitarian is an Evan
gelical Christian. You are not! You are an inf
del, and you will ne damned as one! Laughter.
He that sayeth that Jesus is not the Christ is
liar; the truth is not in him, and minifv my
word where He is not the Christ and alto
gether the only begOtten Son of God, is the
most blatant infidelity that ever set itself up
by the name Of Christianity. Just about a
good,
DECENT LITERARY CLUB,
and that is all you can Lake out of that sort
of an institution. Laughter. And 1 am
talking just what every one of You evangeli-
cal preachers believe too, but you wont say
it. Laughter and applause. ''Christ is all
the world to me, and His glory 1 shall see. -
l tell you, my brother, believe Christ is
here, and is here to stay forevermore. 1 am
not a Second Adventist have no fault
to find with them-but theocL
Jesus Christ has come again to
my soul fourteen years ago, and he has never
left it from that day to this. II you h ave not
got Christ, you should be Second Adventis
until he does come again.
ssWhere is CHRISTI" He has promised, 81
will abide with my people," And he who has
living personal Christ abiding in his soul,
that is the maa that sings all the day long,
and he is power in the world Some of my
good Second Adventist brethren say that
Jesus will come in the year about 1900. Well,
what are you going to do with all these mean
old sinners in st. Paul that amt agoing to
live till the year 1900? Laughter. Oh,
blessed Christ, may we be loyal to God as
Christ was loyal to God, and be faithful in
our everyday life before the world. "Where
is Christi" That is the big ques-
ton. Lo, here he is! and
10, there he is! But tell
you brother if you have the Lord Jes US
Christ, l am going to tell you some things
| that happened before you got him. We can
always tell whether we have him or not 10y
some facts preceding Being in Christ Jesus
means that something has gone ahead-some-
thing has preceded. where is ChrIst?' If
he has come your way there was Il moment
in your past life when you had an intense,
longing, consuming desire for his coming and
his presence. The scriptural expression
| ''hungering and thirsting after rgh teous-
ness" Did you ever feel it? This scriptural
hunger fills the SOUL my soul panteth TO
the loving God like the Rheart panteth for h
